Holiday Started

Since the weekend, the boys had been up to their old antics. They just sobbed all day, going to bed way past midnight and only getting up at lunch! Nightmare.

Then came the time to go out for dinner. They would come up with all sorts of excuses, mainly to stay at home to watch TV and playing with their video games. I tried enticing Idlan to go to Jump Street, but was worried that the place would either be too crowded or closed during these festivities. Another idea would be to have a drive to Putrajaya, but that was shot down as well!

Since both Anita and I were the outdoors type, dragging them out had been a challenge. And it looked like the trend would continue until they were back to school next week! Good luck to us!

Enjoying the Morning Sun

My line of work usually meant an early start. Sometimes even on Sundays. But lately I noticed that the morning sunshine had been glorious. In fact the whole morning had been great weather wise. And I had to slog on to work.

I decided to take a break and went to work late one morning - I don't have morning clinics on Thursday - and enjoyed the scenery. Albeit from the apartment.

That extra few minutes calmed down the shutterbugs on my fingers and last night I was able to look through the snaps. How I wished that every morning was just as glorious ....

Happy Sunday Morning all ....

Back on his Feet

Idlan was much better and today, both of the boys went to see the Paediatrician - right next door from the apartment - for check-up. Irfan was due for his jab as well. And he took it like a man - helped by the promise of a big tub of ice cream after that!

Idlan duly completed his Lego set - an AT-AT from Star Wars - in a single afternoon. He was having trouble getting the bricks upright but had since sorted that problem out.

We just watched an episode of Downton Abbey just now while the boys were occupied in their rooms. Time for me to call it the evening as well and have some proper sleep ....

Poorly Idlan

Since Monday, Idlan had been more quiet than usual. He said, his eyeballs heard. Then he started having a temperature. Poor boy.

On Monday evening, he asked if I could drive him to Dunkin' Donut. He was craving for something sweet. Yesterday, he asked for some Lego. He got the Lego but slept before opening the box.

Temperature approaching 40C.

He woke up early this morning opening his Lego box just before I left for work. He felt a bit better but still having throat pain. I just called Anita just now, and apparently he was having a nap again. I was on call today, and hopefully it would not be too busy. I wonder what he wanted later ...

The Evening Dip

I was not lucky this time around. The evening before, the sunset was gorgeous. The afternoon which I had the chance to have a dip at the beach, the sunset was more of the cumulonimbus variety. At least, there was no risk of sunburn!

I went to the beach after taking a nap. Anita and the boys were already out when I got up. We spent a nice couple of hours, playing ball and making castle before finally leaving just after the sun was down.

The beach was not too crowded as it was midweek. There was enough room for everybody. Anita wanted to try one of those sand buggy but was put off after hearing how much they wanted to charge. And I don't personally think it was safe as well. They didn't even provide a proper sets of helmet.

I had to drive back to KL the same evening as I had clinic the next morning. After showers, we went out for dinner at the Golf Club. The drive home was a pleasant one. I reached Bangsar just before 11pm.
